RANT ABOUT BUILDING MAINTENANCE

So they are a bit lax on doing things here unless there is water running out into the freaking hall under your door. This is a footprint by the garbage shoot.

Well they replaced something in there and put in a new access door in there many months ago. It took 2 months for them to get the access in and pain the wall. BUT they never cleaned up the drywall dust. NEVER. It's been like 6 months or more.

The other day they where fixing the place over top of mine as they had well - water running out into the hall under the door (told you). Well there was water running down my wall in the bathroom and out of my medicine cabinet. I DID call this in right away and it was pouring out.

Well 30 minutes later I'm wondering why not one person has shown up and there is still all kinds of water coming down the wall. An hour and a half in it had stopped running and I started the process of cleaning up the wall, the floor, the sink and the cabinet. Still no one had shown up.

The next day and the day after that I was left wondering what the crap does it take to get them to show up? No one ever did.

Now I'm left with a strong musty smell in the wall as there is no place for the moisture to go and it's just sitting in there, more than likely soaked into the drywall and the wood.

See mold is common in a really old building like this when something like this happens, so I'm not impressed and just hope no mold starts to bleed threw the wall. I also don't need black mold spores coming out into my face every time I open the medicine cabinet to shave or brush my teeth.

If I ever do see the fix-it guy around I'm going to complain about the musty smell in there and that no one showed up. I mean they where IN THE BUILDING that day, why not stop in to give it a look?

I know they are on a budget and all with this place as it's subsidized, but DANG this might not be safe. I love living here, it's the only quiet place I've ever lived after moving out of my folks place - but this not showing up thing and not getting things done is a bother. After all, how long does it take to vacuum up the dust in the garbage shoot room? Got to say every job I had before being too disabled to work I did the entire job, not just part of it. Sigh.

First off, this was years ago and at this point I'd just ignore the person and let them be offended all by themselves for no valid reason, rather than try to explain. Also I have mellowed with age and would not have gotten snarky with them now. So I was depressed and out in a coffee shop. I was sitting there kind of blankly looking off into space. This woman sat where I was looking and I honestly did not even notice her siting there. Well she saw me looking and took offence. She said to stop staring at her. Well I explained I was not looking at her and just staring blank into space. She of course did not believe this. Well I then told her I thought it was very sexist of her to think I was lusting after her and that seemed to trigger the shit out of her. So off she went on some angry rant on how only MEN can be sexist some how. Well at this point I was sue she was mentally ill and told her I knew a good physiologist and would give her his card. Well that did not go over well. At was at …

5. Freaks (1932) was disturbing not only for its use of actual circus freaks, but it's original ending that was cut is out of this world twisted. The low quality film I think added greatly to its disturbing nature. The film is simple but for many reasons it works as an epic work of horror.

4. Eyes without a face (1960) In this movie a woman has her face removed for medical reasons and is replaced by a featureless mask. This look spawned the look of Michael Myers. The mask alone is disturbing in it’s dehumanizing manner, but when seen with no mask on it must have freaked out a lot of people at the time and yes it’s disturbing.

3. The man who laughs (1928) Let’s face it, without the ultra disturbing look to the main character this movie would be boring. However because of the grotesque look to his never ending grin, the movie is transformed into something disturbing to say the least. By the way, this spawned the look of “The Joker”.

The graphic has literally nothing to do with this post - just wanted to show off a play time image. Anyway, I'm sick to my tummy. See there is this sauce called "Roasted Garlic & Peppercorn Aioli" - Well I freaking love it but it upsets my tummy every freaking time. So it's a trade off when I get it. I get to enjoy something VERY yummy, but my tummy will be upset for 4 or 5 hours after. There is also red meat. It gives me a terrible headache and sometimes body pain. But... I eat it now and then because a bacon cheese burger is the best thing on earth. Strange thing is I've never gotten the reaction from McD's - ever. Hmm. There is a long list of things that make me very sick now and now and then I'll forget not to eat one and spend the night in agony regretting it. Maybe I should have a list of things that cause me issues and when I want something look it up? But that sounds depressing. Lime is one of the things that kills me. Lemon on the other hand does …

So I was watching a show on executions in Texas. They do seem to put a lot of people to death down there to say the least. That's not what I want to talk about though. So this guy was out on death row at age 19. The time he committed the murder, he was driving a car with 2 other teens. They where going around robbing people at gunpoint. They got pulled over by an off duty cop after one of them tossed something out the window and it struck the windshield of the cops SUV. The cop then tracked them down and went over and said he was a cop. At this time he reached for his back pocket to get his police ID out of his pocket. The kid then shot him in the forehead and later the cop died. So yeah - the kids excuse was obvious that he thought the man was reaching for a gun. I'm kind of sure many people would have thought the same thing. So I can see his point. The thing is, he was up to no good that night in the first place and maybe he was too quick with his gun. I don't know I was not …
